Dirty Laundry

Jarron.....Again

A couple weeks later I haven't been talking to anybody, not even Dave. And he hasn't tried to talk to me either, but I try not to let it bother me. I put my homework in my book bag and took my glasses off then there was a knock at my room door. Alexis soon walked in and sat on my bed. "You've been so distant lately."

"Yeah." I sighed. "I'm sad."

"Why?" She asked. "You know you can talk to me about anything Morg I'm not the one to judge."

"I know it's just, I don't know why I'm sad so I can't talk to you about it." I explained.

She laughed lightly. "Is it your boyfriend maybe? Or Asia?"

I nodded, "Maybe both." I looked at her, "I think what I'm feeling is guilt. But I don't know why I feel guilty when Asia is the one who haven't been wanting to talk to me." I paused for a moment and then started again, "And Natalie." I scoffed. "I'm so sick of her, she just came out of nowhere trying to be a mom to everybody it's just mad annoying."

"Yeah I seen Natalie and Asia have been hanging out alot lately." She said.

I nodded. "Yeah I've been replaced." I said rolling my eyes.

"Well how about we do something." She said. She had a bright smile on her face, "I told Quincy about the baby and him and Jarron decided to come here."

"What?" I said in shock. "How'd he react?"

"Who cares." She laughed. "I'm suppose to be meeting him in an hour and Jarron is going to be with him so how about you just keep him company."

I thought for a moment. "Dave would kill me." I said. "He doesn't want me around Jarron."

"Who said he has to know Morgan he's just a friend!" She said standing up. "I'm gonna go shower, meet me downstairs in an hour okay?"

I nodded. "Okay." I whispered.

She left out and I stayed sitting for a moment before going into my bathroom and turning the shower on, ten minutes later I hopped out and went into my closet to find something to wear.

We walked into a restaurant and immediately spotted Quincy and Jarron. My palms got sweaty just looking at him, he's so gorgeous and such a gentleman but he was suppose to be just a spring break fling. He smiled and stood up, motioning us to come towards them.

"It's about 70 degrees outside." I said sitting in a chair. "Why do you have on coats?"

He shrugged. "We're in New York for the first time, we thought it'd be ten inches of snow."

"In spring yeah right." Alexis laughed.

Jarron sat back down across from me and touched my hand slightly. "How are you?"

I moved my hand and cleared my throat. "Good." I grabbed a menu, "Did you order already?"

"Nah we was waiting on y'all." He said grabbing one to.

Alexis looked at us. "I know you two want to catch up and Quincy and I have to talk, so we're gonna go sit at the bar."

I nodded, "Okay."

They both walked off which left Jarron and I. "Still with that one guy?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah." He made a sound then put the menu back. "So, why'd you come with Quincy?"

"That's my bro, he asked me." He said. "Plus, I wanted to see you."

I blushed lightly, "Oh." I whispered.

"Why you acting shy Morgan?" He asked. "You were so chill and fun in Florida now you acting all scared like you don't know me."

"Well technically I don't." I said. "But, it's nice seeing you again."

"Yeah you to." The waitress came and took our order then left again, "So we all talking about moving here."

I raised my eyebrow. "Why?"

"Quince got a baby on the way." He said. "He need to be around his kid."

"Yeah but what does that have to do with you?" I asked.

"For the last time we bros." He laughed. "And he can't be out here alone. Him, Christian, and me might get us a lil apartment or something." The waitress bring our drinks and he picked up a straw. "Oh yeah where ya other friend at? Asia I think her name was? Christian ass can't stop talking about her." He chuckled.

I sighed. "We're no longer friends, so I don't know where she is."

He looked at me. "Damn forreal? What happened?"

I shook my head, "Just a lot of bullshit." I said sipping my water. "It's dumb."

"So when I move here." He started completely ignoring what I had said before, "We gone be seeing eachother a lot right?"

I looked at him. "I literally just said I was still in a relationship."

He shrugged. "So? We're friends."

"Oh I'm not allowed to have guy friends."

"Really? That's not good."

"Why not?" I asked.

"That sound controlling as hell. No guy friends? The f**k is that." He laughed and shook his head. "Your life though Morgan. I'll stay out of it if you want me to."

Later on in the day I decided to go to Dave's to see how he's been, when I went inside all the lights were off. I went into his room and he was in the bed.

"Wassup?" He croaked.

"Sleep?" I asked taking off my shoes.

"Nah." He sighed. "Just thinking."

"What about." I replied getting in the bed on the side of him.

"Life."

I stayed quiet for a moment then spoke again. "Why haven't you called me?"

"I just been to myself lately." He turned towards me, "Why the f**k haven't you called me"

"Same reason as you." I said laying my head on his chest. "Everything that happened in the studio, I've just been feeling guilty for some reason."

"I agree."

"Why do you feel guilty?" I asked.

"My aunt talking 'bout she don't like the way I was talking to Natalie and that I can have my daughter back if I'm ungrateful. What type of s**t is that." He scoffed.

"Why don't you want her back?"

"Man I'm a busy nigga I can't have a kid everywhere I go. I love Kairi but I still gotta get on my grind." Before I could respond my phone vibrated indicating I had a message. "Who's that?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know, look and see."

He grabbed my phone and stayed silent, then he sat up. "Jarron? Who the f**k is this?" I sat up to and tried to grab my phone and he pulled back. "Yo' you was with this nigga today?"

"Dave it was just a friendly dinner give me my-"

He cut me off, "Friendly dinner? So you having dinner with niggas?"

"Dave it was nothing like that I swear! Just listen to me I was going with-"

He sat my phone down and stood up. "Yo I know this not that nigga from the trip." His face was red. "Morgan I know this not that b***h ass nigga from f*****g Panama."

I stayed silent and he grabbed me by my hair, dragging me off the bed. "Dave!" I cried. "It was nothing! I went with Alexis!" I screamed.

He continued to drag me out his room and out the door. He threw me outside, "Don't bring yo thot ass back here bitch." He said before slamming the door in my face.
